HSH's National Monthly Mortgage Statistics: 2008

HSH's Fixed-Rate Mortgage Indicator (FRMI) averages 30-year mortgages of all sizes, including conforming, the new expanded conforming, and jumbo. The FRMI has been published as a continuous series since the early 1980s. Separate statistical series for conforming and jumbo loans have long been available to HSH clients.

As the nation's largest publisher of mortgage information, HSH Associates contacts about 2,000 lenders weekly. The statistics shown here include both conforming and jumbo mortgages to give a true picture of the overall mortgage market. HSH markets jumbo-only and conforming-only statistics -- find out how to order.

Averages shown reflect the interest rate. Points and fees are not included in this series; they are available in different statistical series. HSH can supply detailed statistical series with rates, points, effective rates, averages of other fields, calculated APRs, and more. Click here for details.
